Topics that will be covered at the conference include effective human capital management, the potential advantages of using artificial intelligence to broaden diversity, funding ventures for female partners, and emerging and diverse manager success stories.

Additionally, CalPERS and CalSTRS will discuss how the pension funds approach emerging managers, as well as provide their asset class views.
